René Crevel (1900-1935). L.A.S., Saint-Tropez [1925], to Mar - Lot 231
René Crevel (1900-1935). L.A.S., Saint-Tropez [1925], to Marcel Jouhandeau ; 2 pages infol. A countertype of a photo of Crevel by Man Ray in 1925 is attached . Nice letter to Jouhandeau. He is in Saint-Tropez, and his room overlooks the harbor: "Last night I thought Neptune was a young man because a sailor, all brown, bare-chested, blue pants torn, water up to half a thigh with a broom was cleaning the harbor. I watch the innocent spectacle. Happy little guys all cracked up with sunshine. I'm ashamed of my anemic chicken breasts "... He goes to work, "trying to write a story that will be the sum of all the stories I have told you and that you have told me deserve to be on paper". He speaks only for what is necessary, and boasts of being as chaste as he is silent. "Not always of course, but if there were no white there would be no black..."... He gives news of his family, his sick mother, and the pity he felt over there in the mountains: "There is a drama there, the epilogue of which could be your sentence: They all died like rabbits. So for my last little sister, a child that I will introduce you to and who is so extraordinary, I am afraid and I arrange cruel things". All this should not interest her, but "when I believe in friendship I show myself as I should most likely be, that is to say whining like all the naive. Hence the emptiness that periodically occurs around me. It is true that my abyss is that of change. It is also true that I have friendships that are stronger than anything else ... He adds: "Hello to friends. Tell Marie Laurencin that I will write to her as soon as I have a passion and will describe it to her in every detail "...
